2021 Map of Ashton

About this map

Amargosa River cuts through this arid landscape, marking a vital hydrological feature where the Amargosa Desert meets the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert. The map centers on the small settlement of Ashton, situated at a crossroads in Nye County just north of the California state line. This desert environment is defined by its topographic extremes, transitioning from the broad, flat alluvial basins into the protected wilderness of Death Valley National Park in the southwest corner. The intersection of state and county boundaries, including the line between Nevada and California and the border of Nye and Inyo counties, highlights the remote jurisdictional importance of this high-desert corridor.
